Specialty Stuffed Mushrooms @ Mama’s Cafe — a very ‘’sophisticated restaurant” (website pictures a new location not the ‘under-age beer drinking/‘Long Island Ice Tea’ drunkard place] near hghway/interloop 410/156 miles north of our sh*tty border hometown [the dirty/stinky streets of Laredo] via IH35N & always guarded…
A many generational family-run San Antonio, Tx strip-mall restaurant that relocated from Laredo, forget establishment’s name & prolly long closed by now, had *greatest* deep fried corn tortilla tacos & chips/salsa because they deep fried their daily-made, freshly crushed masa while still raw & not after cooking it on…
Addendum: Local Austin Legend/Guitar Hero Stevie Ray Vaughan opened for the Clash. When performing, SRV was pelted with trash & gobs of mucus/spit by the Austin “summer punks”. Also, ‘the mosh pit’ was brutal. Fact.
One summer during the early 1980s* worked in the kitchen at Matt’s El Rancho while taking some courses at ACC. Every workshift nuked 12ish precooked shrimp, my station, to order for their “famed shrimp enchiladas”. Would *always* munch one or two of ‘em per order everytime! They were purdy good, considering.
Pink Floyd ‘Four Eyes’ Relic style is prolly the more accessible description.
Hey Claire :-) Enjoy checking out the pics of Yr tableware plates/crockery. You have some very nice/cool dinner pieces.

Yes. The ‘Re-Unionization’ of U.S. America is very good/positive ie more $$$ in bank accounts/pockets of working peoples.
Hello. Lotsa times, well written & informative pieces receive zero comments/acknowledgments, etc. This is a very good & instructive foodstuff stock/broth article that will be filed in the phone/tablet/computer ‘save’ files.. & will be eventually recalled upon as future food reference when needed! :-) Anyways, Thanks.…
Tangent comment: Yes. Once again, my Mother also makes *excellent* pimento cheese. Have requested, both granted, that I get the very lg floral still-life oil painting nicely framed & most importantly, her index recipe box with all her 3”x5” hand-written food recipes (plastic laminated) when she leaves & ceases to…
* Yes, There is difference between shaved ice & snowcones/‘raspas’. ie Think really has to do w/granular size of the “shaved ice”. Oops ;-)
Hello :-) Growing up in SW Tx bordertown, Laredo, shaved iced/snowcones, were *always* call “raspas”. Guess was ‘colloquial’ term we “townies”/suburbanites (our local population was 156 miles south of ‘big/sophisticated metropolitan city of San Antonio’ & 0.1 inches north of Nuevo Laredo once over Rio Grande River)…

Nope, do not believe Your published statement at all.
Addendum - Jim’s/Frontier Chile Cheeseburger was excellent & a favorite! :-) Yum!
Agree to disagree. Everybody loves their burgers their way as it should be :-) Anyways, mustard is mainly why Whataburger was my favorite statewide hamburger joint growing up. Glass Kitchen (a single location burger place in Laredo, Tx) with their very greasy french fries & great cheeseburgers loaded, lotsa mustard,…
No matter how good cookie dough tastes, the baked goods are generally much better eats. My Mother is *fantastic* baker! ie Her chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal/raisin cookies, her M&M cookies, plus her top-notch ‘cheese straws’ can go up against anyones. Note: don’t think would ever want to eat…
Slicing tomato into quarters & plopping lg spoonful of cottage cheese into center of tomato ‘flower’ & then adding some freshly ground pepper/salt plus (pick) chives/scallions/sliced green onions, is one of my favorite lunches. Has nothing to do w/attempted late 1970s/early 80s weight loss “dieting” regimen.. just…
Very good food article, fries & butter, that shoulda been obvious edible b4 though wasn’t :-) Thx!
